: Manage Your WritingThis week: Start tough (sometimes)
Mark McCormack, in What They Still Don't Teach You in Harvard Business School, listed what he called the eight "toughest" messages to deliver:

- I goofed.
- I have some bad news for you.
- You did a great job.
- Dear Boss, you're wrong.
- This is how you rate.
This week, as you plan or revise your messages, think about their first sentences. Although you won't always want to start as directly as McCormack advised, you'll still want to think about that first impression you make.
